It's an upgrade kit that includes hardware and takes Bluetooth up to the latest 15MY spec (which includes audio streaming and other enhancements). Two kits are available depending on the age of car, this now covers pretty much all model years, but you need to have Bluetooth fitted already. 
Edited to add, looking at the link this is the old upgrade, the new kit is in the latest accessories brochure and dealer websites and has only just been unveiled. like this....

My MY 2008 Roadster has Bluetooth factory fitted but it has stopped working.
When this upgrade was launched I enquired about it and hoped the new module that comes with the upgrade kit would also fix the problem or replace my existing Bluetooth module
I was informed that the existing Bluetooth module needs to be working for the upgrade kit to be installed.
There are two upgrades available depending on which Bluetooth you have factory fitted, in my case I only needed the cheaper upgrade kit
which from memory was circa £300 + 1 hours labour to fit.

I have a 57 (pre face lift) Vantage and called up for info on this. I was told it'd be around £1300 but would allow Bluetooth audio streaming. I don't have the premium audio and can't currently stream music so this would solve the issue.
Just wondering if anyone had this upgrade installed? Are you happy with the upgrade?
